Slim Whitman - Song of the Old Water Wheel Lyrics



Slim Whitman - Song of the Old Water Wheel Lyrics




By the valley road
The lilacs are growin'
Around the mill
With an old water wheel

In his dusty coat
The river sits dreamin'
Of his true love
The pretty Lucille

The old water wheel
Keeps turning and turning
It seems to seize
All the kisses it sees

On the soft summer nights
When the hearts were alive
Making love to the sound
Of the old water wheel

In her eyes of blue
True heaven made green
And her hair was brown
As the meadow lark's wing

Every smile revealed
White pearls, empty dreamin'
And nature made her lips
Just to sing

But fate was unkind
She sneaked neath the lilacs
This dizzy world
Keeps moving along

But the old river seems
To be lost in his dreams
While the water wheel turns
As it's singin' this song

Lost in the song
Of the old water wheel

(Fade to end)
The old water wheel
The old water wheel
